it varies were not like bca we have contracts with seat, vw, Honda their mostly brand new, ex hire and lease stuff, motab vehicles, council vehicles, and all ex services e.g fire engines etc, and a load of other small to big contracts.

i saw they other day about 5 black pre-face vectra estate that have been converted into a hearse you would just think its normal estate on the outside lol.

as for ex service police their mostly astra's the vectra's we do get are ether the 2.8t or the 1.9 cdti think their the 120 and look same spec as the 2.8t

I had the timing chains, tensioners, guides, water pump, oil pump, spark plugs, oil filter and oil change.

It has transformed the engine sound and performance.

I have just bought 2 new front shocks and looking a set of eibach, daps or H&R for the car. I have just won a Strut brace bar off ebay and have sourced the Sports button and CDC from Seb off here. When finished the suspension all round will be replaced by genuine VX parts with uprated springs.
